Fee changes on the way for selling boats

Written by Sharon and Dazzz in Motors at 9:00am, Wed 1 Feb 2012

We wanted to give you a heads up that from 9 February we are making some changes to listing and success fees for selling boats, marina berths, dinghies and rowboats on Trade Me.

Selling a boat using a classified ad will change from a listing fee of $29 or $39 to between $39 and $59, depending on the asking price:

- $39 for an asking price under $1,000
- $49 for $1,000-$10,000
- $59 for over $10,000

If the asking price is increased it may increase the listing fee. There is no success fee.

Selling a boat via auction will change from a listing fee of $29 or $39 to a flat fee of $39. Rather than a success fee of $15 for sales up to $1,000 and $39 for sales over $1,000, the new success fee will be 1.95% of the sale price (up to $39).

Fees for promoting boats listings remain unchanged.
